Beginning Of The Rate Cutting Cycle, Time To Be Bullish?
This week, we discuss are we at the beginning of a global rate cutting cycle as the ECB, BoC & SNB have all lowered interest rates. How will this impact markets in the second half of 2024?
In 1915 only 10% of Americans had a car. By 1930 59% had one
In 2014 only 14% of people worldwide had a smartphone. By 2024 60% had one

VC Down rounds at a five year high, and almost certainly underreported as we see a lot of convertibles w/ high liq pref and low val caps that are essentially cramdowns. The broader VC space is still in for a world of hurt as we continue to digest the effects of our 2021 excess.

Neutrl is a synthetic dollar protocol designed to monetize structural inefficiencies in crypto markets, with a particular focus on hedged OTC token arbitrage. By pairing discounted locked-token purchases with delta-neutral hedging, the protocol offers yields that are less dependent on funding rate cycles than traditional cash and carry strategies. Early traction has been strong, with TVL growing from $120M to $210M following the removal of deposit caps, while sNUSD currently yields materially more than competing yield-bearing stablecoins. The key question for Neutrl is scalability: whether access to high-quality OTC deal flow and disciplined liquidity management can support continued TVL growth without compressing returns.
